Alphicans, a word of advice:
Never say no one cares about smash 64 unless you want 30 people flaming you. It's only Surri for now, but if you continue... lets just say this won't be a tournament thread for long
For example, take the "Official Smashboards Combo Video Competition" thread:
http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=251720
Starting from post 12, no one is talking about the competition for about 200 posts. I was one of the people involved in the destruction of the thread, and me and all of the 64 boards are proud of having done that (it actually was the start of us getting changes to our forum, which currently is resulting with us being merged with the melee section
)
As far as your arguments...
Lets look at pure melee players. Melee players know that brawl is stupid, takes no skill, and is dominated by one character (i.e. MK), with Snake as a distant second, and 33 useless characters. They know M2K racks up all the winnings because he also plays melee. Otherwise, they probably have never heard of Ally, ADHD, etc. So in the melee player's perspective, brawl is a stupid game. They would play smash 64 over brawl anyday.
